Ungstrup (26194) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - MAR 22, 2008
Cask at Hafway House, Edinburgh. A golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with light notes of both malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel and a lightly bitter finish.

Rastacouere (6041) - Montreal, Quebec, CANADA - OCT 1, 2007
Large sparkler’s white head atop a clear golden body. Soft foamy palate is gently mineral, floral. The whole thing is simple and straightforward, but aptly refreshing and balanced. Even though the aroma is a bit limited, cerealic pale malts feel crisp enough and the hops surf on them with natural brilliance.

omhper (17437) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - AUG 30, 2007
Cask at Halfway House, Edinburgh. Deep golden. Grassy hops shine up a body consisting of buttery malt. Sweetish and fruity with medium body. Salty bitter finish. Fairly hoppy for a Broughton and with a fresh feel to it.

Sigmund (4162) - Tau, NORWAY - AUG 29, 2007
Cask conditioned at the Halfway House, Edinburgh. Deep golden to amber colour. Moderate aroma, some fruity hops, a hint of malt vinegar. The flavour is moderately malty and "dusty" / dry, with moderate hops in the finish.

harrisoni (10909) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - AUG 25, 2007
Cask handpull at Halfway House, Edinburgh. Gold, lasting beige head. It’s fine. Citrusy bitter with some tangerine. Good condition, decent hop on end and nice citrus flavours overall. Considering I had a whopping hangover, this was perfectly acceptable.
